Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aims to clarify the roles of the promotion council, and its partnership with universities and museums in order to promote education on disaster prevention and tourism through the community development after recovering from disasters. The study covers geopark promotion councils in Japan. The study involved collecting relevant literature and interviewing local government officers, researchers, curators, and representatives of nonprofit organizations. The results are as follows: 1) the role of the promotion council is an area management organization that establishes social capital while orchestrating the opinions of the public and private sectors; 2) the role of university and museum experts are communicators who convey the requests of local residents to mayors and propose measures. The study concluded that universities and museums should have a comprehensive partnership agreement with promotion councils and establish a system that allows participation in geopark activities.
